Plastic for windows help

[Ankle-Biter]

I wondered if anyone knows where I can get some 3/4MM perspex cut to shape for my boat window. I need the plastic aswell.

I'm not sure if straight forward perspex is any good.

Any advice / pointers appreciated.


Cheers Chaps.

Ive used them a couple of times, the first time I got them to cut the perspex to shape,(they charged £50 for the four windows and £50 to cut.)
The next boat i got, I thought I would give it i go myself, bought the perspex, then using the old windows as a pattern, marked the new perspex,then put masking tape over the marks (to avoid cracking when cutting), re-marked over the tape then cut using an electric jigsaw.Worked fine.

Hi Alan, Is this the one up Scotland that thinks it is a submarine . As Tommy says better off getting some perspex and using your old ones as a template. Theres been a sheet of perspex lying about on the site i'm on for weeks now, i noticed today it's a bit scratched, i'll have a closer look tomorrow and see exactly what it's like, it's 6m x 1m do you think it will be big enough

6mm perspex

6mm perspex

what size do you need and how many pieces.

 

[Ankle-Biter]

If I had a piece 500mm x 500mm I could cut it from that.

3 - 5mm thick would be good.

I wish it was thicker.

is 6mm too thick ?
